A Tsunami of Hate
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/31/2021 9:38:19 PM
Our friend David Horowitz makes the case that our present political crisis is not the result of polarized views on policy, but rather is caused by the Left’s outpouring of vicious hate and determination to crush all opposition. Everybody agrees that our country is in crisis – and agrees that it is the worst crisis since the Civil War. But at the same time, we tell ourselves a comforting tale about the source of the crisis that perpetuates the problem instead of providing a path to ending it. We say our politics are “divisive” and talk about “unity and healing” as though that would miraculously be achieved

The Biden administration is planning a dramatic ramp-up of its airlift from Kabul by making preparations to compel major U.S. airlines to help with the transportation of tens of thousands of evacuees from Afghanistan, while expanding the number of U.S. military bases that could house Afghans.
The White House is expected to consider activating the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, or CRAF, created in 1952 in the wake of the post-World War II Berlin Airlift, to provide nearly 20 commercial jets from up to five airlines to augment U.S. military efforts to transport Afghan evacuees from bases in the region, according to U.S. officials.
With Joe Biden back in hiding, Kamala Harris flying away to the Far East, and the State Department announcing it has been cyber-attacked while the U.S military remains forbidden from mounting rescue operations to Americans stranded and surrounded in Afghanistan, an American mom is appealing to the White House for help through a Republican congresswoman’s office.
The State Department is offering little help other than warning Americans not to try going to the Kabul airport. A threat from ISIS, which had been defeated under the Trump administration, was behind the threat that triggered that warning. ISIS and al Qaeda are both evidently
The hits keep on coming under Joe Biden.
Remember when Joe Biden allegedly asked Vladimir Putin and the Chinese not to conduct cyber attacks against us, but then he didn’t sanction China and he gave Putin a list of the targets that were important to us?
How’d that work out? Well, the cyberattacks have continued. Great job, Joe!
Now, we’re hearing about a serious breach, a new attack that hit the State Department. It’s not clear who is behind it yet.
According to Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich, while they only are talking about it today, it is believed to have happened a couple of weeks ago.
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting illness, COVID-19, has caused mass hysteria on a global scale. Perhaps no response is as shocking as what we see in Australia. The country is included in the group of western democracies globally and among the Five Eyes intelligence community members. Yet, the nation’s response to the pandemic can only be described as authoritarian.
A COVID-19 Delta outbreak emerged in Australia in June. The country adopted a “Covid-Zero” strategy early in the pandemic. The government has repeatedly imposed draconian measures, rigorous testing, and closed international borders to eradicate the virus.
In yet another recent sign that Joe Biden is losing the support of much of the liberal media due to the debacle caused by his enormous mishandling of the exit from Afghanistan, the Los Angeles Times has now revealed the real purpose of a new War Room set up at the White House.
Now, you would think that such a War Room would be for planning the rescue of American citizens and Afghans who worked for the United States from the clutches of the Taliban, right? Wrong.
Saturday's Times revealed the true purpose of the White House War Room in "Biden focuses on domestic agenda, even as hot spots flare up elsewhere."
A week ago tomorrow, Kabul fell and the Taliban gained effective control of Afghanistan.
Joe Biden and his national security team have taken that week to offer very little in the way of facts, and evidently, even less in the way of security for Americans or U.S. allies stranded there. A British reporter on the ground in Kabul reports that the things he and “hardened combat soldiers” are seeing are the worst things any of them have ever seen. He also says it’s all getting worse. As if the chaos in Afghanistan isn’t bad enough, the Biden administration is evidently in a state of chaos itself.
A Taliban fighting unit called the Badri 313 Battalion was spotted patrolling Afghanistan with U.S.-made gear, and posting one photo appearing to mock the iconic World War II photo, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.
Propaganda videos posted this week on channels affiliated with the Taliban show soldiers in the little-known Badri 313 Battalion carrying U.S. and U.S. ally-made weapons and gear that appear to be stolen from allied militaries while patrolling parts of Kabul. In one propaganda photo, members of the Badri 313 Battalion are seen hoisting a Taliban flag in a similar fashion
The White House’s readout of a call between Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron on the crisis in Afghanistan leaves out an impassioned plea from the French president that the US and its allies have a “moral responsibility” to evacuate Afghan allies.
The French government’s readout of the conversation was released on Friday, a day after the call took place, and indicates that Macron emphasised ensuring the safe evacuation of Afghan citizens who assisted American and European troops over the past 20 years at great risk to themselves and their families. According to the readout, Macron described the mission to evacuate allies as a “moral responsibility”
President Joe Biden’s job approval is underwater in most states, according to the CIVIQS rolling job approval average.
Thirty-seven states show the president with a 50 percent or higher disapproval rate. This is compared to only 12 states that show the president with a higher approval rating. Meanwhile, only one state, Colorado, polled at an even tie with 46 percent.
The seven-month rolling average of the president’s job approval is now at 50 percent disapproval compared to only 43 percent approval, with seven people expressing no opinion.
Broken down by age groups; 18-34, 35-49, 50-64, and 65 plus, all have a negative opinion of Biden as well.
oe Biden gave a horrible briefing on Afghanistan today, where he lied so much that Fox’s Jennifer Griffin said it was hard to keep up with all the misrepresentations. But Joe Biden did actually take a few questions. Unfortunately, his responses were just as bad as his remarks.
For example, he refused to commit to staying past August 31 to get Americans if they hadn’t gotten out everyone who needed it by that time. But there was one exchange that really had people asking questions.
NPR reporter Scott Detrow asked Biden if he was really saying that there were no circumstances where Americans weren’t able to get to the Kabul airport
When she was named the new CEO of the Associated Press, Daisy Veerasingham claimed “The importance of AP as an unbiased, factual news source cannot be overstated – our journalism reaches more than half the world’s population every day."
But the AP isn't unbiased on Ron DeSantis. The latest "scoop" by reporter Brendan Farrington went so wrong that even PolitiFact threw a "Mostly False" flag at it...well, at the Democratic Underground spin on it.
The Farrington story was suggestively headlined "DeSantis top donor invests in COVID drug governor promotes."
California’s giant ride-hailing and delivery companies suffered a major setback Friday as a state Superior Court judge invalidated a 2020 ballot proposition that allowed Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and other businesses to classify their workers as independent contractors.
In a lawsuit brought by the Service Employees International Union, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch ruled that parts of Proposition 22 are unconstitutional because they infringe on the power of the Legislature to include app-based drivers under the state’s workers’ compensation law.

Earlier in the week, it was reported the Taliban now controls approximately 174 humvees, 10,000 rockets and 6 light attack aircraft. (Photo/Info) But it is much worse than that. A report from Fox News on Saturday highlighted the scope of the crisis unfolding in Afghanistan as the network claims the Taliban now control 75,000 vehicles, 200 aircraft, 600,000 weapons, and $85 billion in funding.This is like Obama’s Fast and Furious gun-running scandal on steroids.

This past week, Lt. Col. and President of the London Center for Policy Research, claimed that former Attorney General Bill Barr told him to stop looking into the transfer of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania he uncovered after the 2020 Election.
LtCol Anthony (Tony) Shaffer (retired), is the President of the London Center for Policy Research, a New York Times bestselling author, and CIA trained intelligence operations officer with 35 years of experience in global and national security. After the 2020 Election Shaffer was one of many Americans who offered to help investigate the results of the 2020 Election.
Numerous members of the British Parliament slammed President Joe Biden this week in response to the catastrophe the president created in Afghanistan with his disastrous pullout and handling of the situation.The remarks came on Wednesday from members in the House of Lords, which is one of the two chambers in the British Parliament.Members blamed Biden for the situation and shamed him for trying to cast blame on others, including the Afghan military. Many of the members said that America’s image was seriously damaged around the world and the West could suffer greatly in the years to come because nations may no longer trust the West
President Joe Biden has met with his national security team to discuss the chaotic situation in Afghanistan after cancelling his weekend trip home to Delaware. Biden spoke with his team at the White House Situation Room about the ongoing evacuation efforts, counterterrorism operations, and intensive diplomatic efforts to finalize agreements with a third-party country transit hub to help American, who were warned on Saturday not to travel to Kabul airport. Biden discussed the matters with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and National Intelligence Director Avril Haines.
So much for the U.S.-U.K. alliance.
The commander of the 82nd Airborne, in a story I hope is wrong, has reportedly told this to the Brits, according to the Washington Examiner's Tom Rogan:
I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the commander of the British special forces at the Kabul airport to cease operations beyond the airport perimeter.
Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army's 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations.
The Biden administration is reportedly considering launching strikes against some of the larger pieces of U.S. Military equipment that were abandoned in Afghanistan, and have been subsequently seized by extremists, after Democrat President Joe Biden decided to pull out from the nation.“The Biden administration is considering launching airstrikes against the larger equipment,” Axios reported. “They also fear that such a move could provoke the Taliban at a time where the U.S. is focusing on evacuating people from Afghanistan.”
Gov. Cuomo’s daughter used an unmarked police SUV to take herself and her belongings from the state’s Executive Mansion, a possible misuse of state resources, sources said. Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, 23, was spotted last week lugging a large cardboard box and bags out of the Albany residence days after her father announced he was resigning. She placed the goods in a black SUV, which a source identified as a state police vehicle, and was driven away.(Snip)Mayor de Blasio was similarly criticized for having his security detail help his daughter move from Brooklyn to Gracie Mansion in 2018.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Friday he sees clear signs that the mainstream media has obviously begun to turn on President Joe Biden as well as some top officials in his administration.“We’ve learned a lot in the past five days. Maybe the important thing we’ve learned is that Joe Biden is not capable of running the country. Joe Biden is senile. Saying that out loud is not an attack on Biden,” Carlson began as he kicked off his opening monologue.He went on to say that everyone in Biden’s inner circle has long been aware that he is “senile” but they allowed him to run for president anyway and that
Most conservative commentators have reacted with glee to a report from Reuters that:
The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.
“FBI Destroys Insurrection Narrative,” headlined Legal Insurrection. And it’s hard to avoid a sense of triumph (snip) But Tucker Carlson, the most important conservative commentator of the moment, takes his reasoning a full step farther. In a segment of the Friday edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, he asked, “Why is the FBI exonerating people?”

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and his wife have been hospitalized in Chicago after testing positive for COVID-19, according to a statement on Sunday.
The 79-year-old political activist and minister contracted the virus despite being vaccinated back in January, in a publicity blitz meant to encourage black people to get a jab.
A month after getting vaccinated, Jackson, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, underwent gallbladder surgery.
He and his wife, Jacqueline Jackson, 77, are being treated at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. “Doctors are currently monitoring the condition of both,” according to a Rainbow PUSH Coalition statement approved by the couple’s son, Jonathan Jackson.
